Built by German shipyard Nobiskrug , Tatoosh was first delivered to telecom exec Craig McCaw in 2000. Just one year later, Allen snapped up the steel-hulled vessel for $100 million. Named after a mountain range near the tech titan’s lifelong hometown of Seattle, Tatoosh has a generous interior volume of 3,229 GT and no less than five decks.

The exterior was penned in partnership with Claus Kusch, while the interior was brought to life by Terence Disdale. The yacht is full to the brim with amenities befitting a billionaire, including two helipads, a cinema with surround sound, a pool that doubles as a dance floor, a dive center with a pressure chamber, a beach club, a sauna, a beauty salon and even a basketball court.

Tatoosh can accommodate up to 19 guests across 11 staterooms, along with 31 crew. The full-beam owner’s suite features dual dressing rooms, an ensuite, a private study and an observation lounge with a bar offering uninterrupted views. Tatoosh is no slouch on the seas, either, with a top speed of 19 knots and a range of nearly 6,855 nautical miles.

“The ambiance on all decks is very residential in feeling. It is hard to believe you are on a ship”

TATOOSH is one of the world’s most famous superyachts. Her size and her core qualities fascinate the yacht enthusiast and she more than lives up to her name.

The name TATOOSH has more than one meaning

It is the name of an island in the Pacific Northwest as well as the name of a prominent mountain range in Washington state. And TATOOSH is also the name of a legendary chief of the Makah tribe, a Native American people from the same area.

It is said that she is named after the chief, for they have certain attributes in common: straight, pure and powerful.

Her five decks soar into the sky…

…and she has a total length of 92.42 m and a total width of 14.95 m. When she was launched in Rendsburg in 2000 to conquer the world’s oceans, TATOOSH was ranked at number twelve of the world’s longest yachts.

Below deck are many more interesting features…

…a cinema with surround sound, a swimming pool with a depth of 1.8 m, a sauna, a basketball court, a pressure chamber for divers, a lobster tank, and, and, and …

Wherever Tatoosh has laid anchor since then…

…she has drawn admiring glances, not least because of her two helicopters. A twelve-metre-long Hinckley tender hangs on the port side. Even more interesting is the tender on the starboard-side of TATOOSH: a sailboat with a cabin.

TATOOSH Yacht – The Impressive $110M Superyacht

Built with state-of-the-art technology, the TATOOSH yacht.

A model of understated luxury, its length is 92 meters and boasts a total of 26 cabins including an owner’s full-beam stateroom and adjoining apartment complex.

TATOOSH yacht interior

The interior of TATOOSH was designed by Terence Disdale , responsible for designing more than 100 yachts in his extraordinary 40-year career.

Known for his originality and flamboyant personality, he designed the yacht to accommodate 20 guests including the owner’s suite that features a comfortable observation lounge with a private gallery and a large secluded deck. 

His “beach house not penthouse” style is exhibited in the superyacht’s design which is complete with a heated swimming pool on the main deck, beach club, dive center, cinema, and elevator covering all decks. 

Specifications

TATOOSH has a total of 92 meters (303 ft) with a beam of 14.95 meters, a draft measuring 5.16 meters, and a volume of 3,229 GT.

She has two Deutz engines that can power her at 19 knots top speed, an 18-knot cruising speed, and more than six thousand nautical miles range before needing to refuel again.

The TATOOSH yacht features an exterior design by Kusch Yachts and has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure.

With an overall length of 303 feet, it is listed as the 88th largest yacht in the world and equipped with stabilizers for a smoother cruise and two helicopter pads – one for the ship’s own helicopter and another for guests’ aircraft.

Being a superyacht, she carries a helicopter, a sailboat, several other boats, large tenders, and toys.

The TATOOSH yacht was built for the mobile phone magnate Craig McCaw but was purchased it in 2001 for a reported US $110 million.

However, the ship’s crew claim that the boat’s mooring position was “explicitly directed” by the local port authority and they were only following the instructions.

TATOOSH - the view from the bridge

Published 12 September 2022

For the inside track on the largest new yacht to join the Burgess sales fleet, we spoke to Captain Richard Hielckert of the 92.4m TATOOSH during her refit in Germany.

Richard Hielckert has been one of the rotational captains on board TATOOSH for the past six years. We spoke to him as he joined the yacht in Germany where she is undergoing an extensive refit and her 20 year class survey. TATOOSH is available for purchase with Burgess asking EUR 90,000,000.

What was your path into yachting?

I captained cruise ships for 15 years. My first son was born and he sailed with us for the first two and a half years. When my second son was born I stopped cruise ships and tried to work from home but soon figured out that I need to work in a team environment. Out of the blue an ex colleague I hadn't seen for seven years called to say 'I'm in the area, can I come for a beer?' He worked in yachts and said 'If you ever feel like going back to sea again, let me know.' So yachting it became. I previously worked with Burgess actually, back in 2013-14. I worked with Alan Dale on the 70.1m Lurssen SAINT NICOLAS.

Which areas of the yacht are most popular with guests?

It really depends on the charter guests, so from cabin spaces, pool areas, the observation lounge with great views and a flip-down TV, the range of options inside and out for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We have done outside set-ups where the helipad was utilised as a sunbathing area and the swim platform with the dive area and jacuzzi behind it are always popular. The boat deck is a fantastic area to just relax either inside in the lounge or outside on deck, read some books or play music. The main deck aft lounge is always a great place to receive guests with welcome drinks and make them feel at home instantly.

Where has TATOOSH cruised in the past?

In my time it's mostly been the  Caribbean and  Mediterranean but we did visit Fernando de Noronha, a really special island off the Brazilian coast, not many people have been there. Then we went to Namibia and South Africa before heading back to the Caribbean.

Looking at the cruise folder, she's been all over the world. She's toured Africa, the Middle East, Indian Ocean, Far East, South East Asia, the Atlantic islands, the east and west coasts of the Americas. We were preparing a trip up the Amazon but unfortunately that never happened.

How capable is TATOOSH?

The way she is built, TATOOSH is capable of anything. We've sat at anchor in 60-plus knots of wind with no problems, she is a very seaworthy yacht, very stable. Everything is solidly built, German built. Everything is over spec instead of under spec and from my point of view that's a very comforting thing to know.

What else makes TATOOSH stand out in your opinion?

She is completely unique, a beautiful yacht, absolutely one of a kind. To me, if you don't recognise TATOOSH from a distance, you probably don't know yachting. She's absolutely timeless. There's still no other yacht out there like her.

The whole dive set up is particularly spacious compared to other yachts. Having a 12.4m sailing yacht, Julia, hanging on the side is a big part of what makes her distinctive. Julia's being serviced too and even today she is still a top of the range sail racing yacht. The other tender is a 12m Hinckley and whenever we are in Miami where Hinckley is big, people come out in their own Hinckleys to talk to us.

It's also the welcoming feel inside, she's a relaxing yacht. It sounds an odd thing to say about a 92.4m yacht but she feels cosy, very special, more like a huge house than the marble and gold you see on a lot of other yachts.

Who will buy her?

She will suit anyone. If you just want to chill and relax, that can be done. If you're adventurous and you want to travel the world and go diving, that can be done, surfing, kiting - all the watersports. Cinema, gym, beach club jacuzzi and spa, she has it all. Whatever you want to do, it can all be done with TATOOSH.

The whole owner's area can be segregated from the other guests, if so wished. There's an office in the owner's cabin and another on the deck above both with cabins for a PA or staff. She caters for whatever set up you would like, it can be very private or fully open. We held a lot of parties over the years, which most people will know about, so it can all be opened up but you still have separate spaces so you can have it noisy or quiet, you can enjoy a party the way you want to. Operationally she has service pantries all the way through the yacht and that works really well too.

For me it has been an absolute pleasure being captain here and sailing on TATOOSH and I hope to carry on. After a major refit and her 20 year survey, she has many years of fun and adventures ahead of her. All she needs is a new owner.

Please describe the yacht in five words.

Legendary, solid, exploratory, unique, welcoming.

With sea trials scheduled for March, TATOOSH could be yours for a spectacular summer of cruising anywhere in the world. Contact your Burgess broker to arrange an inspection, either virtually or in person, and you can fully appreciate the space, quality and pure spirit of this remarkable yacht.

Inside Paul Allen’s Former Yacht on Sale for $90 Million

By Katie Schultz

The estate of the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen is offering the sale of his 303-foot-long superyacht , Tatoosh , for a cool $90 million, according to Dirt . If you’re thinking those stats aren’t impressive enough for the billionaire and tech magnate , well, you’d be right. Tatoosh , which is currently the 60th largest yacht worldwide, was just Allen’s secondary vessel. His main yacht, Octopus , sold last year for $325 million and stretches 414 feet long, making it the 20th largest yacht in the world.

As for Tatoosh , the recently-listed vessel was custom-built by German shipyard Nobiskrug in 2000 for fellow American tech mogul Craig McCaw before being bought by Allen the following year for an estimated $100 million. The craft was put up for sale shortly after Allen’s death in 2018, but was taken off the market for an extensive refitting that was completed last year.

Inside the vessel, 11 staterooms can accommodate up to 19 guests with access to a lengthy list of lavish amenities that includes a heated swimming pool with a hydraulic-powered mosaic floor that can raise and lower, a parquet floor salon complete with a limestone fireplace and a bar, a movie theater adorned in red velvet, a beauty salon, a gym, two helicopter pads, a sunbathing and diving area decked out with a blue-tiled spa, bulletproof windows, a fleet of jet skis, multiple 43-foot tenders, and a crew of 31 to oversee it all. The owner’s quarters include a private deck, two dressing rooms, and an observation lounge with a private galley, all spanning across two of the ship’s five decks, which are all accessible via elevator.

To maintain and staff the superyacht, which will be one of the largest yachts on display during the Monaco Yacht Show later this month, potential new owners will have to be prepared to pay $9 to $10 million per year in addition to the hefty price tag. Tatoosh is being represented by the Monaco-based yachting company Fraser.

The owner of a $3.4 million Lamborghini yacht screamed 'I will kill you' and threw $100 bills into the water when told he couldn't use a private dock

• The owner of a Lamborghini yacht threatened a private dock employee, per CBS8.
• The employee said Ajay Thakore mooned and threw cash at him after being told he couldn't use the dock.
• Thakore, the CEO of Doctor Multimedia, issued an apology through his public relations team.

The owner of a $3.4 million Lamborghini yacht threatened a private dock employee after being told he couldn't be there, the San Diego-based broadcaster CBS8 reported on March 11.

Joseph Holt, a 21-year-old employee at Marriot Marina in San Diego, told CBS8 that he spotted the yacht sailing into the private dock. The owner, whom CBS8 identified as Ajay Thakore, tried to pick another person up at the dock, Holt said.

"I told him respectfully that he couldn't be there, and I honestly was hoping to have a conversation with him about his cool boat," Holt told CBS8.

In a YouTube video posted by @SM-wc9eq on March 10, a dark blue Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 is seen sailing out of a dock. A man in a gray T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and a cap was shown standing on the yacht. The man appeared to be Thakore, per CBS8.

Thakore was shown shouting at Holt. "I will kill you, you know I will kill you!" he can be heard saying multiple times in the video

Thakore was later shown pounding his fist on his palm and pointing his thumb down before telling Holt: "To your face!" Holt was shown responding by pointing his middle finger at Thakore.

"I really was trying to restrain myself from getting fired from my job or stepping out of line. The only thing I did was give him the bird," Holt told CBS8.

Holt said Thakore then took $100 bills from his wallet and threw them at him. He added that Thakore mooned him. This exchange was not shown in the video.

"He was saying I'm nobody, I'm nothing, I work a silly job. He said that he knows people, he has connections, he can change my life and ruin it," Holt said. Holt did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

The San Diego Harbor Police arrived at the marina 10 minutes after Thakore's yacht exited the dock, per CBS8.

The Harbor Police told Business Insider that Holt decided to press charges against Thakore and that they are investigating the incident.

According to Thakore's LinkedIn page , he's the CEO of Doctor Multimedia. The company's website shows that it's a healthcare marketing firm based in San Diego. Thakore appears to go by the name Ace Rogers on Instagram and TikTok, where he's noted as being a professional gambler.

Thakore, through his public relations team, told CBS8 in a statement that his altercation with Holt was "regrettable."

"What started as a minor misunderstanding escalated into an argument, and I apologize for my actions and to those who witnessed the unfortunate exchange," the statement said. Thakore did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BI.

Thakore isn't the only CEO who's been called out for threatening another person. In November 2021, an Activision spokesperson told BI that its ex-CEO Bobby Kotick had previously apologized for telling his assistant he would have her killed. The spokesperson added that Kotick's threat was "obviously hyperbolic and inappropriate" and that "he deeply regrets the exaggeration and tone."

In June 2020, Lisa Alexander, the CEO of LaFace Skincare, a cosmetics company, apologized in a statement to the media after she had threatened to call the police on her neighbor for writing "Black Lives Matter" on his property. Alexander said in the apology that she was "disrespectful" and "should have minded my own business."

March 21, 2024: This story has been updated with Harbor Police's comments.
